The peace President, the free speech President, the "drain the swamp" President, the pro worker President.......

On these and pretty much every election claim, he has done the complete opposite.

Give him a chance.
He's not finished by any means.
He still has three years to go  ::)

The only difference between RedTrump and Putin is that Putin has no interest in influencing western media, because Putin doesn't give a rats-ar5e about the media or ratings, while ratings are RedTrump's primary concern.

Not even Putin is / was bold enough to organise a riot in Washington! ;)

The world now knows how to get RedTrump to flip in their favour, just stoke his ego or fill his wallet and he'll do a deal that even sh1ts on his own people.

That sort of behavior is an indictment on both of them, and others. The fact that he is such a baby and is so easily played, and the fact that diplomats, business leaders, world leaders and others would stoop so low as to lick his saggy, sorry ar$e. Have some f%%^^ng principles and self respect. Capitulating to bullies just encourages them to bully you more.

Couldn't agree more Paul.  While flattering and kowtowing to a narcissistic bully may get the outcome you desire, it's hardly good leadership and does little to make the world a better place.  Zelenskyy fluctuates between standing up to Taco and bending over backwards, but he's in a difficult predicament.  Musar of Slovenia, Colombia's Petro, Ireland's Micheál Martin, Brazil's da Silva and, leading the way, Carney, Sheinbaum, Frederiksen, Steinmeier and von der Leyen, are shining lights in how they don't take a backward step when confronted by Taco.

While I agree with the general sentiment.

The political art would be to make him think he is a winner, when in reality it is you getting what you want!

RedTrump is a gunna man, he's gunna do this, he's gunna do that, his followers stop the assessment there and he is happy for them not to look deeper.

Foreign bureaucrats can depend on a couple of things, RedTrump will feather his nest and take any credit whenever the opportunity arrives.

btw., RedTrump, Rudd, Albanese or not, this is Australia making a deal with America. I think we did a good job of not making the recent China military activity an issue, that is what China would have wanted, they would have wanted us to focus on the guns and forget the minerals. When that 'flares' story hit the airwaves yesterday the first thing I said to my wife was, "They don't want us talking mining, they want us talking guns!"

Rudd aside...and the issues between them are well known through the Nigel Farage interview with Trump.

Do our own feelings regarding Trump cloud our judgement in some respects?
I thought Albanese handled himself quite well in the meetings.
He looks to have come away with some good results for the country.
He hasn't antagonised Trump in any way
He hasn't seemed to be anyting other than diplomatic.
He was respectful without fawning.
It will be largely spun as positive.

We don't need to 'shirt front' a bloke just to demonstrate bogus strength when we can achieve results through a good old sit-down.

The Taco-Rudd kerfuffle was most likely a setup with all parties briefed and agreeing to the script … provided that Taco could remember.

I’m still waiting for Abbott to shirtfront Putin 🙄
